Simon Z WeismantelClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I offer client-centered supportive & insight-oriented therapy, & enjoy connecting deeply with people at all stages of recovery from psychological worries—from those interested in trying therapy for the first time to folks returning for another period of healing, exploration, & growth. I have a warm, non-judgmental temperament that allows people to share what brings them into session, even when the issues may feel overwhelming or hard to talk about. After receiving my clinical MSW at the internationally recognized Smith College School for Social Work, I completed a post-graduate Fellowship at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. My areas of specialty include: big life transitions; recovery from trauma & difficult childhoods; depression and anxiety; coping with chronic illness; substance misuse; LGBTQ+; transgender identity (including working with parents and family members of trans individuals); as well as kink-aware therapy (my graduate research covered BDSM/kink).
